Novel DBS Stimulation Patterns for Treatment of Parkinson's Disease

Exploring new DBS patterns to help treat Parkinson's symptoms.

Recruiting

All
Phase N/A

This study explores new ways to use a Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) device called Percept PC to help people with Parkinson's Disease (PD). PD is a brain disorder that causes shaky movements, stiffness, and slow motions. The DBS device sends tiny electrical signals to the brain to help control these symptoms. In this study, doctors want to test different patterns of signals to see if they work better with fewer side effects. They're using a special feature called BrainSense that allows the device to record brain signals while it works. This study involves 15 people who already have the Percept PC device and are comfortable with it. The research will take place at several clinics and labs.

  • The study is for people already using the Medtronic Percept PC device.
  • Participants will receive a new type of stimulation but will return to their regular setting after the study.
  • All procedures follow safety guidelines to ensure participant well-being.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
